I woke up one morning with a very croaky voice but no pain , so I took an antiseptic but no effect. Repeated this for a week then went to the doctors he sent me to hospital for tests this went on for a few months. Eventually a specialist did an inspection with camera and took a biopsy. Two weeks later I got called in for results. My wife insisted on coming with me. The specialist said what do think the problem is ? So I said, I have had so many tests I think it is cancer. The specialist yes you are right. My wife burst into tears and I went over to calm her down. I told her now I know I can fight it, and I felt relieved knowing what it was. After the operation they removed the growth and a vocal cord. I couldn't talk and was writing things down, I wrote a message to the wife saying I can't talk she said to me you are married to me you don't need to talk you need to listen lol.
I Googled my symptoms, went to my Dr., told him I wanted a biopsy on a lump on my arm. Biopsy done, cancer confirmed. Non-hodgkin's lymphoma at 42. Honestly, I felt vindicated as my medical complaints fell on deaf ears for over a year. Put all my faith in the medical treatment. I accepted my reality, using visualization during chemo. I just had my 60th birthday February 1st. My youger brother died of cancer at 46. Go figure. Gratitude, everyday is a blessing. Be kind to one another.
Do you mean that the medical profession ignored your symptoms for a year until you specifically asked for what you wanted? I know someone currently in the same situation. Unfortunately looking like it's too late for her. It's getting diagnosed early enough because the delay is the killer not necessarily the cancer.
I'll second that. I've always been interested by what goes on in the UK as I'm as interested in world events as much as I am in US events here at home. And the UK being our cousins across the Atlantic have held a special place in heart especially with things like Monty Python, Red Dwarf, Midsummer Mysteries and lots of other bits of music, television, movies, authors and comedians. So for a number of years now I've listened to the BBC overnight on my local NPR station or on PBS or wherever, but James and his callers provide me with a wonderful deeper dive into a few topics every day with these shows. And Mystery Hour on Thursdays is a wonderfully entertaining treat. Cheers Anjelina!
1.5 year ago i got my diagnose non operable Lung cancer phase 3 and it didn't at first stuck with me, after having a collapsed lung when i got my markers i realized for real what was going on. Then the rollercoaster began Chemo, radiation and now Immunotherapy and really it is still a rollercoaster of sorts. Thank u for this topic...sitting here in tears listening, although I'm far in my treatment and it goes well (so far) it still is tough to hear the stories about this disease! Much Love and thoughts with others who are dealing with this❤🔥🎩
You James O’Brien are very brave taking these calls about cancer. My story - grew a golf ball size lump out my sizeable right breast and was convinced it was a blocked milk duct (my children were 6 and 8). When they told me it was cancer it was like being hit with a cricket bat. My husband, however, acted like he had been hit with a cricket bat and his 6ft 2” body collapsed to the floor in a heap and 3 beautiful young nurses helped him on to the bed I had been sitting on. It is a great shock. However James I had a mastectomy followed by chemo and radiotherapy which wasn’t great fun but heyho that was 29 years ago. How lucky am I? The other plus was that my hair fell out after the first chemo but when it grew back in it is the😅 best hair I’ve ever had. My friends and husband were a wonderful support and my pay back was supporting other women going through the same and working as a counsellor.
I had a colon cancer diagnosis about 10 years ago. I don't think there's much you can generalise about what that is like, except that your own reaction may surprise you. It certainly teaches you something important about yourself. When I woke up from that colonoscopy, the gastroenterologist seemed genuinely upset delivering the bad news. She was almost in tears, while I was fairly unmoved. My strongest emotion was the desire to comfort the doctor who seemed to be doing much worse than me. I was a professor in a medical School at the time, teaching (among other things) cancer genetics so I was not particularly bewildered by the experience. I ws in New York at the time, and I must say It was a privilege to spend time with all the wonderful, caring and clever people I met through 2 years of treatment who saved my life. It was unpleasant, but a great learning experience, and the dark humour we shared turned what could have been a nightmare into a bit of a lark, only with chemo and surgery.
I can't emphasize this enough: STOP BLAMING THE DOGS. Pitties are actually naturally docile. They're GREAT family dogs. They only become hostile and violent when the OWNER trains them to be, either with intent or through mistreatment. The same as with virtually every breed. In fact, mini breeds are FAR more hostile and violent, only limited by their diminutive size. That the entire breed has been stereotyped so profoundly that people want them KILLED by default is as disgusting as it is irrational. It's not the dogs. Blame the people.
The owners are often the problem rather than the breed but the difficulty is training the dogs and the owners so there isn't a danger. The more powerful the dog, the greater the danger.
@@tompearce3610 I agree with you on this. It is the owners, not the dogs. A dog is a reflection of the owner. Many owners are just... Lacking the sensibility. And strong dogs require strong hand, rule. Many of those dogs don't have it. Do we ban them, or require the training? I personally would be for the latter. Not just for XL bulls. But many other breed as well. Many large dogs would benefit from it. But it would be expensive, so not popular. So it is banning a breed that is in spotlight. Cheap solution for cheap people.
It is problematic and unfortunately many of the people who choose powerful dogs don't know how to manage/train them. Then in many cases it's a question of when something will go wrong and how badly. You almost need a driving test equivalent for at least some breeds. Dogs and most owners would rather get it right but it doesn't come naturally.
I went through CANCER, was treated and cured by the NHS. But NO ONE had a story etc about me. I accepted I had it and the relevant people were there for me. What could I do but accept it.
We are absolutely Lucky to have the NHS. Unlike the united the worlds the richest country in the world has British doctors going out there with Charities without pay to treat thousands of Americans in very poor parts of America treating basic health issues and changing their lives as they ie. Americans don't have medical insurance. We as Brits should be very proud and grateful to have it.
My husband was in this same position in June 2021 after being in pain for almost 2 years whilst 15 specialists could not find the problem and every single one said that it was not cancer, a biopsy ultimately showed a very aggressive cancer at stage 4. He is now "clean" as they say in this world, but, it will never leave us. All I can say is, with hindsight, it is sometimes better to not know as one ends up in a relentless speedtrain with an unknown destination and you need all your energy ( physical and mental) and positivity to get through whatever treatment is offered. It also immediately makes one look at everything in life differently. I still do not have the strength to revisit this period in our lives. We cherish and embrace each moment of each day now.
James higher end middleclass is showing, most people couldn't care less about the cancer announcement, I thought he was already dying from kidney failure tbh.
The nanosecond of delivery might be a leveller, James. The Harley street treatment soon does away with the levelling, though. Wouldn't even have been caught if he was relying on the NHS like we are.
Bless you James you really encourage me to engage. Swear you’ve given me far too much food for thought tbh. In the end you are absolutely & categorically right 99% of the time James 😊
He took the bet simply because he does not believe the people he wants to send to Rwanda are people in the same sense as he is. So he's just betting something that for him has the same moral quality as tossing a coin.
I just lost my father yesterday, after a 6 month fight of stomach cancer, that sadly spread to the lymph system and as was later discovered, to his brain that finally killed him. After diagnose, treatment started the next week but could have started earlier if he wanted. But he lives in Germany, so waiting time it seems was no issue.
My nephew, in his 20's married with a baby, was told he had cancer. I said ,I'm sure you'll get better. He bravely replied, I won't you know. Sadly he was right.
I was lucky to have an out of hours doctor suggest I ask for a ct scan in 2014 Right & left lung lobectomy later I owe my life to that wonderful person. My cancer was a rare typical carcinoid had it for many years. I had major illness for years. Please push your gp please don’t let it go
I was diagnosed with the same thing 14 years ago. There is a reason you should want someone with you because beyond the initial mention of that word freezes your brain in place. “Cancer” Is flashing in your brain like like a cheap sign. You just freeze up. I’m just grateful my wife was in the room to absorb all the information. Given the state of his health it’s likely he will be ok.
Imagine trying to claim that its the same for the King getting an early cancer diagnosis because he gets regular private health checks, as it is to the common person who gets the same diagnosis but months later due to waiting lists and is told that they'd have stood a better chance of surviving if they had caught it sooner. Or that common person wondering how they will manage to provide for their family through treatment, not sure the King will have those worries. His chances of surviving will be several times higher than the common person with the exact same health issue, to even compare them is disgusting You know better James, shame on you.
As morbid and distressing such a subject of mortality can be for some we all die, how we embrace that fact differs on your beliefs and some whom witness the corruption, hypocrisy and injustice of this life have no fear of death as they have faith what follows is better.
If James ever gets a co-host, it needs to be Henry Riley. The contrast of their styles and their slightly awkward chemistry, would make a cracking show.
Get affairs in order and go quick. Done the protracted bit with my parents. I don’t want that for my children. It was easier for ME because I got to make peace and thank ‘em for all that they had done. Etc. But it must have been horrible for THEM having to hold my hand - I was the needy one - when they were more than ready to go. If I were to have the option, I’d prefer to say a quick ‘cheerio’ to my boys and F off wi’ all affairs in order… Or is that selfish?
@@robertcottam8824 Not selfish at all. Very sensible. My sister-in-law passed away in 2019 after a short-ish illness and she never made a will which caused all sorts of family issues. My wife had major surgery a while back and she wrote two dozen letters to people to be given to them if she passed away. She was fine, and kept the letters to herself. I joked that half of them were probably of the form "...and another thing Sally, I've always hated you! Let me list the reasons why..." 🙂
Couldn’t care less about the Royals. Real, Hard working people get Cancer and other horrible things every day and are not in the position to afford to make the best changes to have the best chance to recover.
On the 7th, it is crucial to understand that there were no direct attacks on civilians, only collateral damage. Out of the 1148 total names on haaret dataset, 473 military and 675 were civilians. Ratio of civilians to military personnel killed on the 7th was 1 . 4 : 1 - lower than any of the iTf "mowing" operations, which has a ratio of 7 : 1 According to UN OCHA data from 2008 to 2022; The collateral damage on the 7th was significantly lower than any of the ITf "mowing" operations, which had a ratio of 7:1 with 1,023 military personnel out of 6,541 total. On the 7th, with 473 military (418 were iTf military personnel, 55 belonged to the police) out of 1148 total, the ratio of civilians to military personnel was a mere 1.4:1 When including all casualties, not just deaths, the collateral damage ratio of the "mowing" operations is a staggering 162:1 From the 161,233 accumulated civilian casualties over only 14 years of "mowing" operations. A 162 :1 ratio means that for every 162 civillians, 1 military personnel is a casualty. The 7th had a ratio of 1.4:1, more than a hundred times lower. The 473 are - 55 soldiers, 13 privates, 59 corporals, 200 sergeants (45 of whom were sergeant majors), 48 commanders, 32 lieutenants, 5 lieutenant colonels, 6 colonels, 37 officers, 10 inspectors, 6 intendents, and 2 Lance Corp.

In that first second or minute that you first hear the word cancer, time stops, everything fades and you have an almost out of body experience. It was my husband who was diagnosed. I still have not asked him how he felt. We have decided to park this time in our lives for now and to just continue living.
The caller that thinks its ok. Is just ignoring the fact thats its not upto rishi. Its upto the courts. You can tell he was just copying what hes read on daily mail
I think people forget how tough it is on those who had cancer as a child. And it’s not over and lives with you your whole life. With yearly lifelong appointments with oncologist and new health conditions due to the harsh treatment as a kid when you’re supposed to be developing.
Totally agree. I simply see labour as the other side of the same coin! I think change could very well be on the way. I've never seen such tension and anger in this country. You can also see more and more extremes and the age old divide and rule. They want us bickering over nonsense like Rwanda so we can find no common ground. If we find common ground suddenly their power begins to diminish!
No i personally n, turned on the news ,to get the Scotland baaaad news about Scotland , from the bbc in Scotland , and gave up , i was actually , only wanting the weather report, , but i gave up , what are the government in Westminster deflection NOW
You didn’t really mention the PM defaming Keir Starmer. JUST AS DISGRACEFUL as that bet. More so because it might stick and it’s egregious since prime miniature KNOWS ITS WRONG
I don’t think I had put it out of mind, but the first call in really took me back to accompanying my grandfather to his melanoma diagnosis. Being there for support the moment felt simultaneously absolutely profound and extraordinarily ordinary. My grandfather had had a cancer removed some years before. We went and got lunch at his regular after although thinking back now it might have been a day later and it seemed in some ways like every other time and still so different. There was not long after that.
Rishi just panicked because he's a silly man, and he stuck his hand out because he couldn't think sensibly. He's a bit dim and he couldn't keep himself calm and say "No, that's crass", and actually scored points, but he couldn't think calmly enough to respond as the statesman he's supposed to be.
No. You couldn’t be more wrong if you tried. Prince Charles will receive immediate treatment and not be on a waiting list. That in itself changes his reaction to the average man or woman in the streets reaction to the bad news to suggest otherwise is beyond ridiculous, sometimes James your upper middle-class, well-paid lifestyle spills over into your opinions. This being one of those occasions. Of course receiving the news would’ve been upsetting, but the fact that he will receive immediate treatment without worrying about being on a waiting list or being treated in our overworked underfunded NHS hospital puts him in a better position than most people who have been given that news. Give your head a wobble James.
The hypocrite is at it again, banging on about everything apart from when he had sadiq on being told ulez was making people actually poorer and homeless and JB put his head down said nowt and twiddled his pen , no challenge nowt
If you can't drive(due to this policy), you don't end up homeless. You just have to choose different means of transport. Not saying that it is convenient, but pretty much sure the public transport will get you there as swiftly as a car most of the time.
@@michellerenner6880 I went on a coach tour with some Canadians around Europe. They had maple leaves all over them, like caps, badges and so on. I asked one - who was ex-RCMP - why he did it. He started to explain and I stopped him and said "no, fair enough, I get it." 🙂
@@andrewstevenson118 It’s been a long time since i traveled in Europe; but we used to wear our maple leaves very inconspicuously… but yeah; trying to distinguish ourselves from Americans.
@@michellerenner6880 We get mistaken for Aussies all the time but - joking aside - that's not a big deal. My brother's Canadian (well, he's been there 25ish years) and I can usually tell the difference in accents. But I am always cautious to ask "and where in North America are you from?" (As opposed to "where in the US?")
Just a thought, lots of talk about one man with a cancer diagnosis which could ultimately bring an earlier death than maybe expected, while, as a country, our leaders support a war where thousands of innocent people are being killed every day, losing their lives, is a choice that's being supported by the same leaders. One person who might die vs thousands who will definitely die. Seems a bit hypocritical somehow.
50:28 yes and i think i speak for the rest of the human race when i say those people can be put on a plane to Rwanda ... tho even thats probably ethically iffy .. as we you know ... not really fair to Rwanda to have to deal with it is it ..

Old people are most likely to vote, they're also the most likely to vote out of habit and believe whatever the tabloids tell them.
Because Labour and the left are worse

Is flashing in your brain like like a cheap sign. You just freeze up. I’m just grateful my wife was in the room to absorb all the information. Given the state of his health it’s likely he will be ok.
I didn't, I thought is he going to wait like everyone else.

our neighbours had a rottweiler and an alsatian, always let out to bark at 4in the morning. We couldn't use the garden
Imagine trying to claim that its the same for the King getting an early cancer diagnosis because he gets regular private health checks, as it is to the common person who gets the same diagnosis but months later due to waiting lists and is told that they'd have stood a better chance of surviving if they had caught it sooner. Or that common person wondering how they will manage to provide for their family through treatment, not sure the King will have those worries. His chances of surviving will be several times higher than the common person with the exact same health issue, to even compare them is disgusting
You know better James, shame on you.
I listen all the way from Nigeria. Thank you, sir!
As morbid and distressing such a subject of mortality can be for some we all die, how we embrace that fact differs on your beliefs and some whom witness the corruption, hypocrisy and injustice of this life have no fear of death as they have faith what follows is better.
Its surprising how far down the road of lumps and growths and tumours before you hear the word cancer.
If James ever gets a co-host, it needs to be Henry Riley. The contrast of their styles and their slightly awkward chemistry, would make a cracking show.
That poor lady is breaking my heart, ❤️
I like the comparison of Sunak to a little puppy. A puppy that piddles everywhere.
Which has a nasal woff.
James the word you are looking for at the beginning is "manufacturing consent". Its not the same as manipulation. Read Chomsky.

Greetings from USA, love this show….like the call in
Tough question... would you rather "go" quickly or slowly? Quick sounds attractive but slow means you can say goodbye and get your affairs in order.
Get affairs in order and go quick. Done the protracted bit with my parents. I don’t want that for my children.
It was easier for ME because I got to make peace and thank ‘em for all that they had done. Etc.
But it must have been horrible for THEM having to hold my hand - I was the needy one - when they were more than ready to go.
If I were to have the option, I’d prefer to say a quick ‘cheerio’ to my boys and F off wi’ all affairs in order… Or is that selfish?
@@robertcottam8824 Not selfish at all. Very sensible. My sister-in-law passed away in 2019 after a short-ish illness and she never made a will which caused all sorts of family issues. My wife had major surgery a while back and she wrote two dozen letters to people to be given to them if she passed away. She was fine, and kept the letters to herself. I joked that half of them were probably of the form "...and another thing Sally, I've always hated you! Let me list the reasons why..." 🙂
Love your take on things . Well done .!
Couldn’t care less about the Royals.
Real, Hard working people get Cancer and other horrible things every day and are not in the position to afford to make the best changes to have the best chance to recover.

On the 7th, it is crucial to understand that there were no direct attacks on civilians, only collateral damage. Out of the 1148 total names on haaret dataset, 473 military and 675 were civilians.
Ratio of civilians to military personnel killed on the 7th was 1 . 4 : 1 - lower than any of the iTf "mowing" operations, which has a ratio of 7 : 1
According to UN OCHA data from 2008 to 2022; The collateral damage on the 7th was significantly lower than any of the ITf "mowing" operations, which had a ratio of 7:1 with 1,023 military personnel out of 6,541 total. On the 7th, with 473 military (418 were iTf military personnel, 55 belonged to the police) out of 1148 total, the ratio of civilians to military personnel was a mere 1.4:1

In that first second or minute that you first hear the word cancer, time stops, everything fades and you have an almost out of body experience. It was my husband who was diagnosed. I still have not asked him how he felt. We have decided to park this time in our lives for now and to just continue living.
This is a disgrace, so if you have money you get the best chance to live if your just a regular person, it’s a lottery
The caller that thinks its ok. Is just ignoring the fact thats its not upto rishi. Its upto the courts. You can tell he was just copying what hes read on daily mail
I think people forget how tough it is on those who had cancer as a child. And it’s not over and lives with you your whole life. With yearly lifelong appointments with oncologist and new health conditions due to the harsh treatment as a kid when you’re supposed to be developing.
A massive change needed….and Labour isn’t the answer but a stop gap….
Totally agree. I simply see labour as the other side of the same coin! I think change could very well be on the way. I've never seen such tension and anger in this country. You can also see more and more extremes and the age old divide and rule. They want us bickering over nonsense like Rwanda so we can find no common ground. If we find common ground suddenly their power begins to diminish!
PR is that change
BUT when she was working she was REALLY difficult ‘with bells on’ 😮
No i personally n, turned on the news ,to get the Scotland baaaad news about Scotland , from the bbc in Scotland , and gave up , i was actually , only wanting the weather report, , but i gave up , what are the government in Westminster deflection NOW
they certainly got the name right cons 😂
You didn’t really mention the PM defaming Keir Starmer. JUST AS DISGRACEFUL as that bet. More so because it might stick and it’s egregious since prime miniature KNOWS ITS WRONG
I don’t think I had put it out of mind, but the first call in really took me back to accompanying my grandfather to his melanoma diagnosis. Being there for support the moment felt simultaneously absolutely profound and extraordinarily ordinary. My grandfather had had a cancer removed some years before. We went and got lunch at his regular after although thinking back now it might have been a day later and it seemed in some ways like every other time and still so different. There was not long after that.
Rishi just panicked because he's a silly man, and he stuck his hand out because he couldn't think sensibly. He's a bit dim and he couldn't keep himself calm and say "No, that's crass", and actually scored points, but he couldn't think calmly enough to respond as the statesman he's supposed to be.
Has anyone noticed? At PMQT he always looks at the Speaker. Never at Starmer. He is scared 😮
Death and Taxes..o wait..taxes?
48:36 got to wonder what it wrong with those guards and escorts to do that to a person ...
Denholm Elliott was superb in Trading Places, Eddie Murphy must have learnt alot from him..
Question is Why do these mp's want to form a new party? I know the answer but I don't think O Brien gets it
Cons? Indeed!!!
James how can we stop this decline
No. You couldn’t be more wrong if you tried. Prince Charles will receive immediate treatment and not be on a waiting list. That in itself changes his reaction to the average man or woman in the streets reaction to the bad news to suggest otherwise is beyond ridiculous, sometimes James your upper middle-class, well-paid lifestyle spills over into your opinions. This being one of those occasions. Of course receiving the news would’ve been upsetting, but the fact that he will receive immediate treatment without worrying about being on a waiting list or being treated in our overworked underfunded NHS hospital puts him in a better position than most people who have been given that news. Give your head a wobble James.
The hypocrite is at it again, banging on about everything apart from when he had sadiq on being told ulez was making people actually poorer and homeless and JB put his head down said nowt and twiddled his pen , no challenge nowt
If you can't drive(due to this policy), you don't end up homeless. You just have to choose different means of transport. Not saying that it is convenient, but pretty much sure the public transport will get you there as swiftly as a car most of the time.
Change this to 'James O' I live in a bubble show'.
Who's this Eric guy? Sorry, I'm a Canadian.
Giggle "Eric Cantona". Oh, and you don't need to apologise for being a Canadian. - Kiwi. 🙂
@@andrewstevenson118it’s in our genes…
@@michellerenner6880 I went on a coach tour with some Canadians around Europe. They had maple leaves all over them, like caps, badges and so on. I asked one - who was ex-RCMP - why he did it. He started to explain and I stopped him and said "no, fair enough, I get it." 🙂
@@andrewstevenson118 It’s been a long time since i traveled in Europe; but we used to wear our maple leaves very inconspicuously… but yeah; trying to distinguish ourselves from Americans.
@@michellerenner6880 We get mistaken for Aussies all the time but - joking aside - that's not a big deal. My brother's Canadian (well, he's been there 25ish years) and I can usually tell the difference in accents. But I am always cautious to ask "and where in North America are you from?" (As opposed to "where in the US?")
Are they a middle of the road covers band😅
But Cantona will never die. He is a legend and legends live far beyond their death.
re Dogs: Yes, it's a class thing
Rishi Sunak is spineless. So desperate to make people like him.
Just a thought, lots of talk about one man with a cancer diagnosis which could ultimately bring an earlier death than maybe expected, while, as a country, our leaders support a war where thousands of innocent people are being killed every day, losing their lives, is a choice that's being supported by the same leaders. One person who might die vs thousands who will definitely die. Seems a bit hypocritical somehow.

Interesting question
James if we are having this discussion this is abhorrent.
Can we all imagine that we would have sent Jews back to Germany in the early or late 1930s. PM would probably do it now Shame on him
50:28 yes and i think i speak for the rest of the human race when i say those people can be put on a plane to Rwanda ... tho even thats probably
ethically iffy .. as we you know ... not really fair to Rwanda to have to deal with it is it ..
Isn't shorting the £ a bet?
